MR. AND MRS. KEVIN ASMUS
St. Augustine Roman Catholic Church was the setting for the
October 7 wedding of Marie Kathleen Boyle, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Cyril Boyle, St. Augustine and Kevin Gerard Asmus,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Warren Asmus of Zurich, formerly of
Detroit. The maid of honour was Anne Boyle of London with
the flower girl Beth Asmus, niece of the groom. Bridesmaids
were Karen Asmus, Mary Van Rooy and Rita Mulhern. The
best man was John Creces and guests were ushered by
Wayne Asmus, Ken Moore and Joseph Boyle. After a honey
moon to Cape Cod the couple took up residence in Grosse
Pointe Park Michigan.

Wedding traditions
The tradition of the best
man goes back to the
primitive times when
marriage was by capture.
The prehistoric bridegroom
setting out to steal a bride
from a neighbouring tribe
would take along a strong-
armed friend to defend him
while he got the girl.
The tradition of a
honeymoon originated with
the caveman. The bride who
had been abducted by her
---------------------------------
For that hard to buy for person on your
Christmas list come to
man, was hidden away from
her father’s tribesman until
• their anger subsided and
they gave up the chase.
Early Anglo-Saxons
decreed that each wedding
guest bring a special bun to
the marriage. When all the
buns had been piled into a
huge mound on the table, the
bride and groom would try to
kiss each other over the top.
If they succeeded their
marriage would be happy.
Mrs. M. Dearing opened
the meeting of the Afternoon
Unit U.C.W. of Exeter
United Church with remarks
on Remembrance Day.
She continued , “We do
remember much: but
somewhere along the way.
the “TORCH” has been
dropped. We must pick it up
and help to light the way
back to a world of love and
caring.”
65 members answered the
Roll Call, and several
visitors were present.
Plans were completed for
the bazaar November 18 and
the general meeting
November 27, at which Dr.
D.A. and Mrs. Ecker will
tell of their work in the
hospitals at Hazelton, B.C.
last summer.
The Worship service took
the form of a dialogue, “An
Interview with St. Peter”
with Mrs. J. Wareham and
Mrs. H. Murray taking part.
A duet by Mrs. A.
Johnston and Mrs. Dorothy
Bullock, accompanied by
Mrs. F. Wildfong was en
joyed very much.
Mrs. H. Murray in
troduced Rev. George
Anderson who, with Mrs.
Anderson, visited their son
and his wife in Barbados last
winter.
Rev. Kenneth Anderson is
a professor in a Theological
College, on this small
Island, with a population of
250,000.90 percent are black,
5 percent white and 5 per
cent of mixed races.
Predominantly Protes
tant, there are many
Churches representing
numerous Faiths. Two
Anglican churches which the
Anderson’s attended were
packed for two services
each Sunday morning.
No complaints were heard
about the minister’s long
sermon, and 8 hymns were
sung. Pictures shown during
Mr. Anderson’s talk showed
the beauty of Barbados.
Mrs. Anderson displayed
some interesting articles
which she had brought
home. Mrs. Robert Elgie
thanked the guest speaker
and Rev. James ‘Forsythe
pronounced the Benediction.

Most of us create images
in our minds of famous peo
ple - movie stars, tv per
sonalities, singers, etc. It is
difficult for us to imagine
them in different roles, and
sometimes they’re previous
occupations are startling.
For example, Desi Arnez,
a Cuban singer and band
leader, became well-known
on tv as the sometimes
bewildered husband of that
madcap redhead, Lucy.
Before entering show
business, he was a bird cage
cleaner.
Dean Martin was a steel
worker, and Clark Gable
was a lumberjack.
For eleven years, com
edienne Carol Burnett open
ed her weekly tv variety
show by standing in front of
a studio audience and
answering their questions.
Before she began perfor
ming on stage, she was an
usherette directing
members of theatre
audiences to their seats.
Many of today’s comics
are bringing back the brand
of humour characterized by
W.C. Fields. Because of
that, I can picture him at his
earlier occupation - juggl
ing. I see him juggling three
objects shaped like bowling
pins; he has a fat cigar
clenched between his teeth,
and out of the corner of his
mouth he is saying to his
shapely female assistant,
“Ah, yes ... my little
chickadee.”
Joseph Wambaugh, a
successful author, gathered
the material for his novels
and television stories from
his true life experiences as a
policeman.
Charlie Pride, who has
been one of the most popular
country singers in the
United States for the past
dozen years, turned down a
career in professional
baseball, but he still works
out at a pro team’s training
camp each spring.
Babe Ruth, one of the
greatest baseball players of
all time, was a bartender.
Even if you’re not a
sports’ fan, you’ve probably
heard of Howard Cosell -
sportscaster for an
American television
network. If you haven’t
heard him, you’ve probably
heard a comedian imitating
him. He has a distinctive
way with words, and I was
not surprised to learn he had
been a lawyer.
I can hear him now:
“Ladies and gentlemen of
the jury; you see before you
my client, the defendant - a
woman deserted by her hus-
band, scorned bv her
friends, a victim of the
proverbial triangle. Her fate
... is in your hands."
The previous occupations
of some famous people are
well-known. Remember
Perry Como? For several
years, he hosted a weekly tv
variety show. I recall seeing
him sitting on a stool in front
of a music stand and croon
ing songs that had been re
quested by the audience in
letters.
A few years ago “Mr. C.”
went into semi-retirement
to travel around the world.
He pops up once in awhile on
tv specials, and his records
are played occasionally on
radio stations. “Mr. C.” has
not been forgotten.
Most people know that
because he became famous
for singing on a stool in a
television or recording
studio, he stood behind a
chair in a barber shop. I
wonder if he sang to his
customers while he cut their
hair?
And I wonder how many
potential Mr. C.s we have
crooning in the barber shops
in town,
Another rise to fame that
most people are familiar
with is the story of Elvis
Presley, who gyrated his
way from a truck driver to a
musical legend.
Millions of fans were
shocked by his death and
travelled thousands of miles
to attend his funeral.
Elvis impersonators are
Odds 'n Ends
trying to keep the legend of
the “king of rock ana roll”
alive by dressing like him,
singing like him and perfor
ming like him. Presley look-
alike contests have been
held, and one fellow even
had plastic surgery to make
himself look more like the
legendary Elvis.
There will never be
another Elvis Presley, but I
wonder how many truck
drivers think they could sing
and gyrate their way to
fame and fortune.
Truck driver to king of
rock and roll; lawyer to
sportscaster; juggler to
renowned comedian;
bartender to baseball
slugger; bird cage cleaner
to singer, band leader and
actor - sometimes the
stories before the fame are
as interesting as the ones
that come after the fame.
